Christina Washington found yoga as a means of coping with major challenges in her life.

A newer student to yoga and meditation, Christina was reluctant to come on the podcast, feeling that she would have little to contribute. However, we are all making a journey along a similar path, and those who are newer to the journey have valuable contributions that are particularly relatable to beginning students.

I was so happy to Christina on Practically Conscious, as her story provided tons of valuable insights into the benefits of these practices for all of us. My wife Darina participated in the conversation to make things even better. This was one of my favorite interviews of all time!

Enjoy!

Beloved LA yoga instructor Daniel Stewart is a multi-faceted teacher

and student, constantly exploring life and playing with whatever it sends his way. Initially a successful music video film maker and producer, Daniel gradually shifted his focus to studying yoga and psychotherapy and also re-kindling his early love of music by integrating Kirtan into his practice.

Daniel began his teaching career by powerfully helping students at an eating disorder center, and his yoga and psychotherapy career expanded from there. He currently maintains a private practice as a therapist, teaches yoga at his studio Rising Lotus, leads retreats, conducts teacher trainings, teaches yoga philosophy, is contemplating a documentary about his father’s contributions to Jungian psychotherapy, and much more!

Daniel has had a fascinating life and is always looking for ways to pass along what he has learned to the rest of us. We were super fortunate to have him on Practically Conscious and we can all learn from him.

Today’s Guest Darina Brown talks about her journey growing up isolated under communism,

traveling the world, and becoming a yoga and pilates instructor focused on being present for people to help them feel better. Even when teaching celebrities or doctors, Darina thinks of everyone as “human beings like the rest of us that just need help” – she focuses on treating all equally, listening carefully, and helping people achieve their goals.

In this episode Darina also discusses her spirituality and how a period of being alone helped her to discover presence and conscious, and how that presence was brought to a new level by having her child.

It was a great pleasure to talk with Darina, who also happens to be my wife 🙂
